In the modern age, deviant sexual behaviour is becoming both more prevalent and accepted around the world, although religious communities do not accept homosexuality and other related behaviour as it is contrary to nature and the norms of decent behaviour described in religious texts and traditions.

Homosexuality is a delicate and controversial subject prevalent in today’s society. You may be wondering about the Islamic position on homosexuality in the face of radical gay activism versus fundamentalist Christian teachings. Islam considers same-sex marriages to be invalid, thus all homosexual activity is extra-marital. As you have already read in Chapter 3, Islam forbids all sexual activity outside of marriage. Therefore, homosexual acts are considered to be sin. More specifically, Islam forbids “lewdness” between men and men, women and women, and men and women who are not married to each other. (See Holy Qur’an, 4:16-17). In addition, numerous Hadith of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) condemn sodomy as hateful in the sight of God. This position against homosexuality supports the Islamic teaching of chastity and of the sanctity of sex within marriage. In general, it is consistent with a Muslim’s goal of always seeking his or herself and spiritual development and leaving aside those things which attract the lower, baser side of human beings’ nature. Let me preface my suggestions to develop an effective way to address this very sensitive and critical issue, with some background information. At that time, around 4000 years ago, there were many settlements around the Dead Sea (Sea of Lot) which is now between Israel and Jordan. They are referred to as the Cities of the Plain. The Plain near the Dead Sea also stood on the major trading route between Syria and Arabia. This stands on the modern Kings Highway that runs north to south through Jordan. The people of Abraham’s time worshipped idols. They worshipped the stars, and created images of their other deities. Many related civilizations such as the Nabateans left behind reminders at places such as Petra in Jordan.

But idol-worship alone was not the crime associated with the towns of the Plain.

The people of Sodom are repeatedly described as performing abominations and immoral acts, hence the modern term ‘sodomy’ that takes its name from that town. The Qur’an is categorical about the crimes of the Sodomites as being homosexuality as it states in Surah Al- ’Ankabut:

And We sent Lot; he said to his people, ‘You commit an abomination which none among mankind has ever committed before you. Do you indeed come lustfully to men and cut off the highway for travellers? And you indulge in your meetings in all that is loathsome!’ But the only answer of his people was that they said, ‘Bring upon us the punishment of Allah if thou speakest the truth.’ (Ch.29: Vs.29-30)

The retort to the practice of homosexuality is expressed by Lot (as) as:

[Lot said] ‘Do you, of all peoples, approach males, and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? Nay, you are a people who transgress. (Ch.26:Vs.166-167)

The abomination is even clearer in the following verse:

And remember Lot, when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit abomination while you see the evil thereof? What! Do you approach men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are indeed a people unmindful of consequences’. (Ch.27:Vs.55-56)

The verses above also mentions two other types of crimes; highway robbery and committing crimes openly and unashamedly in public meetings and assemblies. However, the focus is the immoral behaviour which Lot (as) describes as ‘an abomination which none among mankind has ever committed before you’. Clearly, highway robbery was not a new crime, so his anger was at the indecency of his people. The Qur’an mentions the fate of the towns as follows:

So when Our command came, We turned that town upside down and We rained upon it stones of clay, layer upon layer, marked for them in the decree of thy Lord. And such punishment is not far from the wrongdoers of the present age. (Ch.11: Vs.83-84)

You might be wondering that until now I have only projected the Islamic viewpoint of the nature of crime and its punishment described in the Holy Quran, does any other scripture condemned it as the abomination is on the rise in the west. Of course the Bible detest this action. We read in the New Testament:

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanders, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians, 6:9-11)Flee from sexual immortality. (1 Corinthians, 6:18)

The next question can be that if both Muslims and Christians have this very clearly stated in their Divine Books that this abomination is to be hated, then why this abomination seems to be on rise in the west? (let me make it clear here that I believe no Religion teaches their followers to hate people but the actual cause of hatred is the bad or heinous acts people do, if you minus the bad act from a person the person deserves the same respect and love anyone of us may expect).

The actual answer is that this is happening due to the distance fake liberals and lobbies have caused between man and the Creator, which is also true for the reason that mankind have witnessed the evil outcome and wrath of the Creator for these abominations. The answer usually forwarded by those in favour of this act is that homosexuality is genetically inherited and that those who have this ‘predisposition’ are victims of it not sinners of any sort.

For the sake of argument if we accept the logic, still it is illogical. Many people are born with many natural tendencies like killing people or things which are probably genetically influenced to give predispositions to for example gambling or alcoholism. It could also be argued (and has been) that it is programmed into men’s genetics for them to be unfaithful to their partner. All these things don’t make it the right thing to do, nor does it prevent these things from being regarded as sinful. Drinking alcohol will still be regarded as wrong. There are cures for diseases and not acceptance as a general rule. It still does not warrant the intense propaganda to legalise and promote homosexuality.

One of the possible reasons of this abomination in this age could be perversion, due to surprisingly over-indulgence in natural sex. Such sex as one gets in married life is not over-indulgence. What I mean is promiscuous sex indulgence outside marriage, made possible in the West by the huge preponderance of women over men — particularly after the two World Wars, and the free-mixing of the sexes in and outside the homes, indulgence in sex being whipped up by novels, erotic poetry, films, nudity and obscenity all around. Over-indulgence in natural sex leads to a stage where man loses enjoyment in natural sex and seeks variation and diversion, which he is told could be had in homosexuality. If this abomination becomes a national disease then I fear the nation can be treated in the same way the people of Lot were treated.

Here it might be of use for someone to know that those nations in the past were destroyed due to their deviance from nature, God has created sex for procreation and this was the object for which a sense of ecstasy was found in this. When people forsake the main object and only focus on ecstasy, and homosexuals are the first to fall in this category as the reproduction is out of question here and they have wiped out the option of reproduction. In other words they themselves have abandoned the right to continue life.

It is interesting to note here that in the history of mankind a nation is destroyed by Allah the Almighty for only two reasons, first of them is rejection of a Prophet where there is no hope found for spiritual life in future of that nation, and the second which is the only one in other evils and vices, is homosexuality. That is a message that as you have rejected the law of nature to continue the life, you don’t have the right to live anymore, but that is for Allah to decide when some nation reaches that annihilation point, we can only pray that we don’t have to witness such time! The events of the towns of Lot (as) are a reminder that God can use natural phenomenon to destroy a race if they do not heed warnings. Finally, the destruction of Sodom and the other towns was meant as a reminder for all time, as the Qur’an declares:

Surely in this are many Signs for those who can read signs. And it lies on a road that still exists. (Ch.15: Vs.76-77)

The road that still exists is the Kings Highway in Jordan, and the remains of the ashen towns are a reminder to us all of the fate of those retched people who shunned God’s Law.

(We consider Jesus (as) a pious and honored Prophet of God, the explanation given below is just a response to some really ignorant claims made by some juvenile Christian convert)

1) The name of Prophet Muhammad (saw) is mentioned in the Holy Quran on 4 places and the name of Jesus (as) is mentioned in 25 places. (Hence proves Jesus is superior than Muhammad (sa) )
2) There is only one name of woman mentioned in the Holy Quran and that is Maryam, the mother of Jesus. On the other hand Prophet Muhammad’s (saw) mother, wife or children are not mentioned at all. Even a chapter of the Holy Quran is called “Maryam”.
3) The Holy Quran chapter 3 verse 34 says “Maryam was born without original sin, she never committed any sin and she was ever virgin.
4) Chapter 50 verse 23 says that she went to heaven with her physical body, and the assumption is written in the Quran.
5) Chapter 3 verse 45 to 55 makes ten points about Jesus, Quran says:
a) Kalimatullah which means “Word of God”
b) Roohullah which means “Spirit of God”
c) Eesa al Masih which means “Jesus Christ”
d) Jesus spoke when he was very small like 2 days old after his birth
e) Jesus created alive birds with mud so he can give life
f) Jesus cured blind and people with leprosy
g) Jesus gave life to dead people
h) Jesus went to Heaven, he is still alive and will come again
None of the above is said for Muhammad (saw) so it proves that Jesus is a prophet greater than Muhammad (saw)
6) God created universe through “Word” which means “Word is creator” and because Jesus is Word of God so he is a creator.
Let me briefly answer the points one by one:
1) If mentioning a name the most is the criterion for superiority or inferiority then Hazrat Musa is the one who was mentioned in the Holy Quran for 136 times. For argument’s sake if we accept that mentioning a name in the Holy Quran decides a prophet’s rank then I would like you to reflect on the fact below:
As we are talking about the facts given in the Holy Quran and Holy Quran says “And there is no people to whom a Warner has not been sent” which means there were thousands of Prophets sent. Only about 25 Prophets are mentioned in the Holy Quran, what about the rest of prophets? Even “Iblis” (Devils) is mentioned eleven times in the Holy Quran. Does it make “The Devil” superior than the rest of Prophets? (God forbids). Following are some names of pagan gods which are mentioned in the Holy Quran:
Al-Lat (* Q 53:19), Al-‘Uzzā (* Q 53:19), Manat(* Q 53:19)
Does the fact that they were mentioned by Holy Quran make them superior to thousands of those prophets who were never mentioned in the Holy Quran?
There is a well known custom in the world that a person is known to be the most respectable if he has more titles attached to his name while an ordinary person is called by the name only. Hazrat Muhammad (saw) has been granted more than 30 titles in the Holy Quran and famously 99 names.
Another thing is that when Allah is talking to Prophet Mohammed(saw) directly there is no need for Prophet(saw) to be mentioned by name but when Allah is referring to Prophet Mohammed(saw) as an example or directly talking to other human about Prophet(saw) only then the name is mentioned in Quranic verse.
And finally one needs to understand that Jesus is a Prophet who had a very weak personality if read only in the Bible, if the Holy Quran had not strengthened his prophet hood, he would have emerged as a sinner according to Bible, so it is a favor which Quran did by mentioning his name.
2) Second objection was that there is only one name of woman mentioned in the Holy Quran and that is Maryam, the mother of Jesus. On the other hand Prophet Muhammad’s (saw) mother, wife or children are not mentioned at all. Even a chapter of the Holy Quran is called “Maryam”.
Before answering this I would like to present the character of Hazrat Maryam according to Bible which will determine that if Quran had not cleared her from the allegations leveled against her, what her personality would look like. Bible says:
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. (Luke 8:20-21)
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. (Mark 3:32-35)
There are other references but this will suffice to project a picture of Mary (as) in Bible that she was not a righteous woman and even did not believe in Jesus. And this is not all, she was labeled with the most heinous blame any woman can carry that she has committed fornication and Jesus is not a lawful son (God forbids) (Encyclopedia Britannica) . Jewish Encyclopedia even said that Jesus was an unlawful child of a Roman soldier “Sapinthra” (God forbids).
These are the circumstances which caused Allah the Almighty to declare that she was not a woman of bad character but a pious one, now praising someone and freeing someone from an allegation are much different things, here mar (as) has been freed from a long and dreadful accusation by Holy Quran and no woman in the family of Holy Prophet (saw) faced such humiliation that is why none of them is mentioned so clearly. The accusation was so severe against Hazrat Maryam that Allah the Almighty had to dedicate a whole chapter to refute and defend the honor of Hazrat Maryam.
When an accused is set free by court that does not make him an honorable person but the one who has never been to court for any accusation is considered most respected and honorable.
3) The third point which was raised in video was that the Holy Quran chapter 3 verse 34 says “Maryam was born without original sin, she never committed any sin and she was ever virgin.
I will just write the original verse from Quran “Allah did choose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of ‘Imran above all peoples. A race, co-related with one another. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing” (chapter 3 verse 34-35)
I hope no more explanation is needed as there is nothing of the sort falsely narrated in video.
4) Chapter 50 verse 23 says that she went to heaven with her physical body, and the assumption is written in the Quran.
Another false statement as the verse mentioned above has nothing of the sort, the verse reads:
“‘Thou wast heedless of this; now We have removed from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this day. And his companion will say, ‘This is what I have of the record ready.” The verse itself is enough to prove the unawareness of so-called Imam Sulaiman.
5) Chapter 3 verse 45 to 55 makes ten points about Jesus, Quran says:
a) Kalimatullah which means “Word of God” (This is not said about Muhammad (sa) )
“KALIMATULLAH” is a phrase used in the Holy Quran and bear no more significance than other title given to various companions of Holy Prophet (sa). I will just write one example here from the Holy Quran:
Say, ‘If the ocean became ink for the words of my Lord, surely, the ocean would be exhausted before the words of my Lord came to an end, even though We brought the like thereof as further help.’ (Surah Al-Kahaf: 110)
Here the word “Kalimah” is used for almost everything in the universe.
(For further details you can see five volume commentary of the Holy Quran from page :394)
b) Roohullah which means “Spirit of God”
Nowhere in the given verses is the title of “Ruhullah” given to Jesus. Some other places in Holy Quran mention this title but again if you read the Holy Quran it says that everyone is actually Ruhullah as is said:
Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His spirit. And He has given you ears, and eyes, and hearts. But little thanks do you give! [32:10]
c) Eesa al Masih which means “Jesus Christ”
As mentioned above, Allah the Almighty gave the Holy Prophet more than 30 names.
d) Jesus spoke when he was very small like 2 days old after his birth.
This is totally wrong concept that Jesus spoke when he was 2 days old; it has no authenticity in Quran or Hadith and actually a product of ignorance from Arabic language.
According to Arabic lexicon on meaning of the word “KAHL” is:
“The Age when one’s abilities reach their pinnacle, and a decline starts after it”
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (as) has written in his book “Minanul Rahman” that in Arabic language there are different words for each phase of life:
“When he reached the years of seminal ejaculation, he was called “یافع “ (yaafe), and “مراھق”(maraahiq). And when reached his full strength and the height of youth, he was called “ضرور”(Zaroor) From 30 to 40 years “شاب” (shaab), Till 60 years “کہل” (Kahl).”
For detailed explanation on “KALIMAH”, ROOHULLAH, and Jesus talking at an early age, visit the link:

e) Jesus created alive birds with mud so he can give life, Jesus cured blind and people with leprosy, Jesus gave life to dead people, Jesus went to Heaven, he is still alive and will come again.
Again none of the above is written in the Holy Quran. The Holy Qur’an mentions several miracles of Jesus, including his ability to create birds, his ability to cure the leprous and the blind, and raising the dead to life. The ability to create birds is a metaphor meaning ordinary people who accepted the teachings of Jesus were spiritually transformed into birds soaring high into the lofty regions of the spiritual firmament above all worldly concerns. The healing powers can also be understood in the spiritual sense. He restored sight to those people who were spiritually blind, and gave life to those spiritually dead. Jesus specifically referred to the Pharisees of his day as being blind because, among other maladies, they were hypocritical in nature.
Indeed, all reformers from God are spiritual physicians since the disbelievers are deaf, dumb and blind according to Islam (Qur’an 2:19).
Jesus gave life to spiritually dead people and he never went to heavens rather he died a natural death at the age of 120 years and is buried in Kashmir.
For details you can visit the following link:

And finally the last blunder the man in video made was that God created universe through “Word” (His teacher told him so not the Holy Quran) which means “Word is creator” and because Jesus is Word of God so he is a creator.
First of all we are not responsible for what his dumb teacher told him. As I have already explained the meaning of “Word” in Holy Quran and according to that explanation this question has no credibility anymore.

To give an example it would not be out of tune to present here a declaration by Patriarch Michael III of Anchialos expressing the situation in the 12th century:

“Let the Muslim be my master in outward things rather than the Latin dominate me in matters of the spirit. For if I am subject to the Muslim, at least he will not force me to share his faith, But if I have to be under Frankish rule and united with the Roman Church, I may have to separate myself from my God”

I am sure if he were alive today, he would have blazed his statement considering the present condition of Muslims when all they have to say is violence and hostility against anyone who has a different viewpoint than that of their own.

Three years have gone by since I left my native soil Pakistan, I can still recall the moment when I left my country and came here to the people I had only seen on TV screens, Africa. I was afraid as I had heard the stories of cannibals, anarchy and lawlessness. People called it the Dark Continent for such reasons. They were wrong. If lawlessness and cannibalism, being for the good of some individuals, are the ciphers of Dark Land then I am afraid it is my own country, my birthplace, the land of pure, Pakistan!

Recent incident of Master Abdul Qudoos will corroborate my aforesaid apprehension; the country which was achieved in the name of upholding the moral values has trodden the human dignity let alone the morality, obvious by the response of the media after the inhumane murder of a Respected School Teacher by the state organ. Master Abdul Qudoos who used to train his students “love of your country is a part of your faith”was victimized by the same country for only imparting this beautiful message to the next generation. He taught his pupils to be law-abiding citizens, but unfortunately the protectors of the law of which he once sermonised his students, brutally tortured him to death. What message has been delivered to the upcoming generation? Is it apparent for our children not to trust in law as it is a play thing in the hands of some individuals who can utilize it for their own advantage at any point of time? Does that signify the complete absence of integrity from Pakistan or is it a message for others not to dare promote sanity in this land of pure? If so, then I would advise all those who try to cultivate ethics, wisdom and astuteness in Pakistan to please give it up lest you become the next Master Abdul Qadoos. It seems as what Pakistan needs is fanatic Mullahs, Qadris and followers with brazen ignorance who dare not question whatsoever comes across them.

In fact, I can’t help “saluting” the gentleman called Master Abdul Qudoos for his guidance to his students was so unadulterated, so influential that even after such an unambiguous assassination, they are beseeching the justice from the same system which has tormented the justice itself. Can anyone give an example of more law-abiding people than these in Pakistan?

If I just start counting the ruthless murders by Muslims in Pakistan, it gives enough grounds to a sane Non-Muslim not to believe in Islam as a peaceful religion or solution for the current problems of the world, the incident of humiliating murder of two brothers in Sialkot by a fanatical mob of MUSLIMS, killing of a bus driver in Gujrat by smashing his head with the bricks, setting the Christian homes on fire in Gojra, abduction of Hindu girls in Sindh, converting them compellingly to Islam when the entire structure of administration is aware of it and every day killing of Shias, Ahmadis and Hazaras are only a few of the long list of carnage on roll in Pakistan. Unfortunately, in the political sphere, Pakistan have nowadays taken to the Medieval way of using religion as a means to wield power, thereby falling into the hellish pit of ‘tumult and sedition’, leaving communities and individuals to misery and destruction.

If Pakistan is the envoy of Islamic States and a model for Muslims all over the world then I would prefer Thomas More’s Utopia rather than Islam for my moral and spiritual guidance who had a law, “that no man ought be punished for his religion”, and I would vote for Utopus, the king of Utopia who made a law so that‘every man might be of what religion he pleased, and endeavor to draw others to it by the force of argument’.

The Festival of Love was one of the festivals of the pagan Romans, when paganism was the prevalent religion of the Romans more than seventeen centuries ago. In the pagan Roman concept, it was an expression of “spiritual love”.

There were myths associated with this pagan festival of the Romans called Lupercalia.Among the most famous of these myths was the Roman belief that Romulus, the founder of Rome, was suckled one day by a she-wolf, which gave him strength and wisdom. The Romans used to celebrate this event in mid-February each year with a big festival.

One of the rituals of this festival was the sacrifice a goat.
A goat was the offering the best adapted to their character and attributes, the flesh of the victim was roasted on willow spits, and the riotous youths, who crowded to the feast, ran naked about the fields with leather thongs in their hands, communicating as it was supposed, the blessing of fecundity to the women whom they touched………’’
(The history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire, Volume 4, By Edward Gibbon p:282)

Opinions abound as to who was the original Valentine, with the most popular theory that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome in spite of Emperor Claudius II, who felt that marriage weakened his soldiers. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day. Through the centuries, the Christian holiday became a time to exchange love messages, and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced valentine cards in the 1840s. The spirit of love continues today as valentines are sent with sentimental verses, from and to young and old romantics.

It is another common opinion that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to Christianize celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia, and that a commemorative feast was established in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, of those “… whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God,” among whom was Valentine, was set for the useful day.

Today there are many things bound with the festival which conclude to immorality and general disorder in the society. On the contrary Islam does not allow the secret relations between a man and woman and gives the beautiful teachings of marriage which leads to a perfect and peaceful society and an integral part of the teaching is to have no secret relation between man and woman. Here is a brief description of the system!Valentine’s Day

“The Koran does not have an eternal origin. It is not recorded in heaven. The Almighty God, Creator of the World, is NOT its source. It is not holy. It’s writings are human in origin, a concoction of old and new teachings. This has been stated and restated for centuries by scholars since Islam’s beginnings, both Moslem and non-Moslem”

This is the second reason given by the Dove Church of Florida. Mr. Terry seems just an outspoken person who just throws out whatever comes in his mouth and this time he has tried to spit on the sun which obviously is going to mark his own face. Let’s scan both the Holy Quran and Bible specifically the New Testament as to see which one is divine and preserved in its text. The Holy Quran which is the latest of the revealed scriptures, is the only Book that itself claims to be the original, uncorrupted Word of God. It throws down an open challenge to all the religions and their followers to prove the validity of their Books and the attributes they bestow upon them.
Now let’s have a look on the New Testament. It contains the four Gospels that are evidently a narration about the life and times of Jesus Christ. Then there are letters and accounts by the disciples of activities of the Christians of the period.
The New Testament scores very low on the above criteria. There is not a single verse that claims for the Gospels to be the Divine Word. The various Gospels contradict each other in many places. The words of the same One God should not vary no matter how often they are repeated. There is a considerable controversy about the actual authors. It is debatable whether the disciples Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were the actual authors or whether the Books written by other devotees and dedicated to the names of the famous disciples.
The Council of Nicaea played a very significant role in the development of the present day New Testament and the Christian creed. When in 308 A.D. the Roman Emperor Constantine accepted Christianity, and found that in his realms alone there were more than seven hundred different manuscripts all claiming to be the only true Gospel by Matthew.
The Emperor also realized that all these books presented a very different portrait of Jesus Christ and his teachings, peace be upon him. The followers of these individual manuscripts were so devoted to their particular books, that already contentions, riots and disturbances due to rivalry were happening between the different Christian groups in the Roman Empire.
This was rather disconcerting for the Emperor so in 325 A.D. he appointed a Council of Nicaea consisting of fifty scholars. He collected all the manuscripts that were scattered in his Empire, and handed them to the council and commissioned them to formulate an official New Testament that presented a very consistent portrait of Jesus Christ and his teachings, peace be upon him. The copies of this New Testament were placed in various centers of his Empire.
The most foul act that the Emperor and his Council did was that they destroyed all the old manuscripts that were given to them. They wanted to eliminate for good all the possible bones of contention from amongst the people, thus, attempting to secure peace within the Empire. Some manuscripts of the Gospels existed in other countries but the Council of Nicaea and the subsequent Roman hierarchy branded these as Apocrypha or unacceptable.
Even in the present times each new edition of the New or the Old Testament differs from the previous editions and because there are no originals the text only convey the interpretations of the translators colored and biased with their own beliefs, sentiments and emotions.
On the contrary the Quran was literally preserved by being written on the hearts of people, as prophesied even by the Bible:
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days says the Lord: “I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
(Jeremiah 31:33)
Moreover, the style in which the Quran was revealed is also in total conformity with Isaiah’s prophecy about the new law being revealed as:
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little. Nay, but by men of strange lips and with an alien tongue, the Lord will speak to His people to whom He has said.
(Isaiah 28:10-12 Revised Standard Version Pub: Wm Collins & Sons, For British and Foreign Bible Soc. 1952)
The revelations were the actual words of God Almighty conveyed to the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, by the Archangel Gabriel. God Almighty has made a very unique promise in the Holy Quran. He says We took it upon Ourselves to reveal this scripture and We have made it Our responsibility to preserve the purity and piety of its text.
That Divine Challenge put forth almost 1400 years ago is still valid today. The very fact that no other versions of the Quran exists is overwhelming evidence of its Divine protection. M. Bucaille in his book The Bible, The Quran and Science testifies to the above facts and some excerpts from his book follow:
“If we now examine the teachings of Muslim exegetes, we shall see that they present the Qur’an in quite a different manner. About fourteen centuries ago at a meditation retreat near Mecca, Muhammad received the first message through the Archangel Gabriel. After a long period of silence, the first message was followed by successive revelations spanning a period of some twenty years. They were not only transcribed while the Prophet was still alive, but also recited by heart by his early followers and later by the many believers who had gathered around him. After his death (i~ 632 A.D.), the various elements were brought together in a book, henceforth known as The Qur’an. It contains the Word of God to the exclusion of any human addition. The manuscripts we possess from the first century of Islam authenticate today’s text.”
“Islam has its equivalent of the Gospels in the Ahadiths. These are the collected sayings of Muhammad and the story of his deeds. The Gospels are nothing other than this for Jesus. The first collections of Ahadiths were written decades after the death of Muhammad, just as the Gospels were written decades after Jesus. In both cases they bear human witness to events in the past.”
“There are no scientific errors in the Quran.”
(The Bible, The Quran, and Science, Pub. Seghers, Paris)
The absolute accuracy of the Bible can be best described by quoting from the preface of the Revised Standard Version, which describes it as the most probable reconstruction of events based on the best judgment of competent scholars.
(The Holy Bible, RSV Catholic Edition, Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain, Pub. London Catholic Truth Society.)
The Quran, on the other hand, stands alone in its absolute authenticity. Its accuracy is beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt. This fact has been corroborated by many independent researchers and can also be verified today through comparison with one of the first written copies.
Now will Mr. Jones according to his own established rule dare to touch the Bible? (God forbids, I repeat here that we honor all the religions and their Holy Books but just to show people the real face of evil trying to create disorder in the world, had to quote such sentences.)

In less than a month, Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida plans to host “Burn a Quran Day” to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
“ It may not cease with the holy book of the Muslims. I have always maintained that this kind of vitriolic hatred of one religion is a descent on a slippery slope, as no one can say who will be next. I was not surprised, therefore, when I heard Jones recently agree, when asked to do so in an internet podcast interview, to burn “a couple of copies of the Talmud” too, says Akbar Ahmed who is a professor and Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University in Washington.”

I will present here a short analysis of the objections and reasons given by the Church to burn the Quran. The first objection raised by Terry Jones on his blog is:

“The Koran teaches that Jesus Christ, the Crucified, Risen Son of God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords was NOT the Son of God, nor was he crucified (a well documented historical fact that ONLY Islam denies). This teaching removes the possibility of salvation and eternal life in heaven for all Islam’s believers. They face eternal damnation in hell if they do not repent”

I will take the objections one by one as that would be difficult to read for one in a single go. Now we will see if the first objection mentioned above is valid? Though the question itself seems ridiculous as all the ten objections are baseless and shows the ignorance and unawareness of Jones from the religion and Bible.
If the Holy Quran is worth burning (God forbids) due to this reason let’s have a look on the Bible what it says about the topic, if it carries the same message does that means we will celebrate a “Burn a Bible day”?Will Terry Jones go out and burn that? Though that is painful to write as we Muslims respect all the religions and their religious feelings. Let’s first take a look what Bible says about the divinity of Jesus Christ, here are a few verses from Bible which shows the oneness of God and that he has no SON.

In the Bible, it is obvious that the words, “children of your Father”, have been used metaphorically.
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
“That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”. (Matthew 5:44-45)
Jesus was not a physical son of God. The Bible refers to Jesus as the son of David:
“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham”. (Matthew 1:1)
At another place, Jesus presented himself as the son of man:
“And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head”. (Matthew 8:20)
In the present day Bible, not only Jesus but also Jacob has been called the son of God. Jacob, moreover, has been referred to as “first born” son.
“And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my first born:” (Exodus 4:22)
Jesus was not a partner in the Godhead, as was not Jacob. Both of them were beloved prophets of God.

Now lets have look on the second part of this objection put forward by Terry Jones of Dove church. Did Jesus(as) die or not let’s have a look from the biblical references.
Jesus did not die on the cross, and he was saved from the humiliation of death on the cross. The Bible says:
“he that is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23)
Almighty God did work to save his beloved prophet from an accursed death on the cross. Jesus fervently prayed that the cup of death on the cross be removed. He said:
“O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me”. (Matthew 26:39
The Bible further informs us that these supplications were heard and accepted:
“Who in the days of flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he suffered”. (Hebrews 5:7)
Jesus had predicted to give the sign of Jonas:
“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in a whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”. (Matthew 12:39-40)
For the sign to be similar to that of Jonas, Jesus must have been alive in the sepulchre after the incident of crucifixion.
Jesus was alive when he was being taken off from the cross. A soldier pierced his side with a spear and blood and water came out which normally indicates life. The Bible says:
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there blood and water”. (John 19:34)
Jesus met his disciples after crucifixion and assured them of his life.
“And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them then came Jesus, the doors being shut and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace be unto you’. Then saith he to Thomas. “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand and thrust into my side and be not faithless, but believing”. (John 20:26, 27)
These are the few of a long list of the references from Bible which proves that Jesus(as) did not die on the cross but he was delivered alive from there.
Jesus was sent to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) as he himself declared. It is historically proven that these lost Israelites had migrated to different eastern countries. Jesus in fulfillment of his heavenly mission went to the lost Israelites and conveyed his prophetic message. In Kashmir, he died a natural honorable death. His tomb, even today can be visited in Srinagar, Kashmir.
Now Mr. Terry Jones says “a well documented historical fact that ONLY Islam denies”
As it is obvious that MR. Terry is not a Christian even, as the aforesaid Biblical references show, because if he had ever read the bible he would not have said the things which even the religion he claims to represent does not support. I wonder if he has ever studied the history. I will present here an article which is a compilation of various views and opinions from scholars of the 18th to 20th centuries on Jesus (as) surviving the Crucifixion, going into a coma and being resuscitated through healing herbs.
The following eminent scholars hold that Jesus Christ (as) did not die on the Cross. You can read it below.

This is the statement of Hazrat Muhammad (sa), that a most unfortunate time is coming when all that would be left of Islam would be its name, when the Holy Quran would be there in writing alone, no attention would be paid to acting on its teachings.

مَسَاجِدُھُمْ عَامِرَۃٌ

You will see that their Masajid are full of people,

وَھِیَ خَرَابٌ مِّنَ الْھُدٰی

but they would be devoid of guidance and yet he, the Holy Prophet, still called them Masajid.

Then a patent claim would come forth from the Christians. The Jews have captured some patents but now a claim will be filed by the Christians. The Holy Quran says and accepts that the Christians were persecuted for the sake of their belief in One God… just as the Ahmadis today are persecuted for the same thing … and that they went underground. Then, finally, when they were given the good news that peace had been restored outside and your rights have been established; now without a doubt you can come above ground and it was argued as to what Memorable construction should be erected at that spot.. and the answer that the Holy Quran gives is that: (Surah Al-Kahf 18:22(

That those people who were in power to decide on the matter said:

[18:22] We shall erect a Masjid in their memory.

So the Christians will say that you have pointlessly started a dispute with regard to the use of the term, ‘Masjid’, this is in fact a Christian term, and the Holy Quran is a witness to the fact. How can you claim to be the inventors of this term? This shall be the petition of the Christians against the Muslims and on Bismillah, of course, the Jews have established authority, and what was left, ‘Masjid’ , well now that too has passed to the Christians.

Now what shall the mullahs make of things? Their petition shall be accepted and why would it be accepted? This is the question. On which side shall the Holy Quran be?

If we accept the rule that the Patent requests shall be filed according to the rules for patents, then, certainly the side on which the Holy Quran shall be, shall be the one that shall have to be accepted and, God forbid, the Quran shall be bearing witness against the Quran itself. So the truth is that this whole concept is totally repugnant and vulgar and objectionable. There is no patent in matters of faith. Every true believer invites everyone to every good deed and when a true believer adopts a good action he finds joy in so doing.

Now, look, there is the case of the Masjid Zarar. Up till today, everyone refers to it as Masjid Zarar. These mullahs when they give speeches regarding this topic, they still use the term ‘masjid zarar’ because the Holy Quran refers to it as Masjid:

(Surah At-Taubah 9:108( Never stand to pray therein. A mosque which was founded upon piety from the very first day is surely more worthy that thou shouldst stand to pray therein. In it are men who love to become purified, and Allah loves those who purify themselves.

This Masjid that they have made.. (Surah At-Taubah 9:107)

These are the people who have made this Masjid with the intention of supporting disbelief, and cause pain to the believers and to sow discord among the Muslims, even then it said you should not stand in this Masjid, the word Masjid is still, nevertheless used…it is not said that this is not a Masjid.

The Holy Quran is a Magnificent Book. The words of this Book display great courage and tolerance and vastness of Mercy in which it has enveloped the whole universe. No greater Charter of freedom of conscience has ever been issued by anyone than that contained in the Holy Quran. Go and study all the books of the world. The Charter of Freedom of Human Conscience that has been revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), nothing like it will be found by you anywhere.

And insofar as the matter of non-Muslims greeting Muslims with As-salamo-Alaikum is concerned, it happened that some strangers, out of fear of the Muslims, when they walked by them, they greeted the Muslims with As-salamo-Alaikum… and when some Muslims reacted by saying that they want to deceive us into thinking that they are Muslims, the Quran told them to not behave in that manner. From heaven, Allah caused to descend the teaching:

Say not to anyone who greets you with the greeting of peace, ‘Thou art not a believer.’ (Surah An-Nisa 4:95)

That, look, whoever says Salam to you, you do not have the right to say to such a one that you are not a believer.

You seek the goods of this life,…by getting a hold of these people who belong to a people who are opposed to you and because you think they are doing this just to save themselves, not only has the Quran given them security against harm but by mentioning the greeting: as-salamo-alaikum has given them the right to use this greeting if they should so wish and has in its shade given them the right to save themselves by its use.

Yet, the mullahs still insist on saying that these people want to deceive the Muslims by showing themselves to be Muslims by use of this greeting.

I ask them where have you gotten this Islam? You do not understand what Islam is. This is the teaching of Allah. Allah knows best, and such incidents have come to pass in earlier times also. This is nothing new that you are presenting to us…to all such things there is an answer in the Holy Quran.

The fact of the matter now is that almost everything seems to result in blasphemy of prophethood. If any Government official says anything against the Sharia Court this results in blasphemy of Prophethood.

Now these mullahs have become God also. They have become the Prophet of Allah. If you raise a hand against them then this is considered tantamount to raising a hand against the Messenger of Allah, God forbid us from saying this!Look at their mode of life, their morals. These are the people who repulse.

Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, captured one, drew a person to himself in an extraordinary way. Whoever saw him, fell in love with him, the Promised Messiah (as) says:

اگر خواہی دلیلی عاشقش باش
محمدؐ ھست برھان محمدؐ

Why do you ask for a verifying argument, or sign, in support of the truth of Muhammad, Muhammad himself, is proof of his own beauty so ’عاشقش باش‘ fall in love with Muhammad.

محمدؐ ھست برھان محمدؐ

Muhammad is proof of Muhammad himself. May Allah give them understanding
